Description

M39 Finnish Rifle - Commonly referred to as "Sneak" M39's, Bolt Action, 5 Round, Mosin Nagant, Model M 1939 Rifle 7.62x54R - Overall Good to Very Good Condition
We are proud to announce that we have a small new selection of M39 Rifles that we have never offered in the past. Although many purist do not like the term as it is actually historically incorrect, these M39's are commonly referred to as "Sneak" Rifles. Now the term "sneak" comes from a common misconception that these rifles were built during a ban on SAKO's production of military rifles. However the term has generally been accepted as meaning a Late Date rifle with no mfg markings. Some simply refer to them as "No Maker" or "Non Maker" which technically would not be correct either because if you can hold it, obviously somebody made it. It is probably more correct to simply call these Late Date rifles as this series of Finnish M39 Rifles were manufactured during the late 1960's to early 1970's.They are thought to have primarily been used for marksmanship training of officers.

These rifles have never seen combat with most appearing unissued. They are generally in excellent to like new condition, however we cannot guarantee you an unissued rifle.
